Amid the current, protracted recession in Japan, new corporations ? termed global excellent companies by the authors of this book ? have been rising since the end of the 20th century. They are not yet in the spotlight but have a huge market share worldwide with regard to their specialized products and services.These corporations have climbed to the top of the global market while many other large Japanese companies have fallen into a slump. The authors highlighted their corporate policies and strategies for achieving high earnings ? the secret of ?producing something from nothing? and ?enabling the lesser to win against the greater?. They have long focused on specific niches, improved the speed of their business undertaking, and effectively used information technology. The authors set out to study these companies and analyze their practices so as to gain insight into the way companies should be managed in the 21st century.
We consider a system of n conservation laws: [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol]∂u [over] [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol]∂t + [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol]∂f(u) [over] [partial derivative/boundary/degree of a polynomial symbol]∂x = 0. The system is assumed to be strictly hyperbolic, but not necessarily genuinely nonlinear in the sense of Peter Lax (Hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, 1957). Our purpose is to study the regularity, large-time behavior and the approximation of the solution of the initial-value problem. Our analysis is based on the random choice method, using the solution of the Riemann problem, as building blocks.
This volume will look into some macro factors that have an impact on gender conceptualizations in China. First, China is a highly-centralized state with a one-party political system that is also an authoritarian strongman regime. Thus, policies (including those related to gender) from the center are promulgated centripetally to provinces, cities, towns, villages, and local areas effectively.In terms of policy-making, the Chinese government noted that they have strengthened the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) guide for women's work, enacted/upgraded rights protection law in the National People's Congress (NPC), actualized mechanisms for women's cause in the Chinese People's Political Conservative Conference (CPPCC), streamlined work systems for effective implementation of national gender equality policies, and augmented the Women's Federation as an intermediary between the Communist Party of China (CPC), the state, and all Chinese women.As productive forces, Chinese women in the socialist era were exemplary models of mothers and career women who treated family life and work as equally important priorities. They were upper middle class to high net worth individuals who showed their successes in juggling both as objects of moral suasion for other Chinese women in state-led publicity. Some of them were touted by the state as ideal modern Chinese women in state media, moral suasion campaigns, and/or propaganda.
Blood feuds, death threats, starvation, and other catastrophes nearly smothered me as a wimpy and sickly youth. Yet these traumatic experiences, together with the nurturing of a strong-willed mother, transformed me into a man of discipline and drive. As a result, I acquired, through my life journey from China to America, several great fortunes: a professorial career with pathbreaking books from research at Harvard and Stanford, a robust health at 91 achieved through a six-regimen exercise, and a family wealth way beyond my dream at a younger age. Based on relevant statistics on longevity and net family asset, I would rank among the most fortunate five percent of Americans.
Computers are currently used in a variety of critical applications, including systems for nuclear reactor control, flight control (both aircraft and spacecraft), and air traffic control. Moreover, experience has shown that the dependability of such systems is particularly sensitive to that of its software components, both the system software of the embedded computers and the application software they support. Software Performability: From Concepts to Applications addresses the construction and solution of analytic performability models for critical-application software. The book includes a review of general performability concepts along with notions which are peculiar to software performability. Since fault tolerance is widely recognized as a viable means for improving the dependability of computer system (beyond what can be achieved by fault prevention), the examples considered are fault-tolerant software systems that incorporate particular methods of design diversity and fault recovery. Software Performability: From Concepts to Applications will be of direct benefit to both practitioners and researchers in the area of performance and dependability evaluation, fault-tolerant computing, and dependable systems for critical applications. For practitioners, it supplies a basis for defining combined performance-dependability criteria (in the form of objective functions) that can be used to enhance the performability (performance/dependability) of existing software designs. For those with research interests in model-based evaluation, the book provides an analytic framework and a variety of performability modeling examples in an application context of recognized importance. The material contained in this book will both stimulate future research on related topics and, for teaching purposes, serve as a reference text in courses on computer system evaluation, fault-tolerant computing, and dependable high-performance computer systems.
